And glad to be back, too.<br /><br />The Petey item had me googling Our Gang stuff as well, and now I have the "complete collection" of Our Gang sound shorts at home via Netflix. Not as good as I remember them from childhood, alas.<br /><br />To me, Warren William lacks Powell's debonaire quality - but William does 'sinister' well as a result. Although I just watched "Employee's Entrance" this week, so perhaps my judgment's clouded by that role in particular. He did seem to play that "type" a lot though.GAH1965https://www.blogger.com/profile/11555095966650179910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881775616224738612.post-90115055353054741602010-06-17T18:01:57.489-04:002010-06-17T18:01:57.489-04:00Absolutely terrific!

What I mean is, due to the uncharacteristically long absense, I was worried that something was really wrong. Now I'm sure a cut severe enough to keep you from typing so long was no picnic, but I'm glad that's all it was. Been thinking about you.<br /><br />You sent me on a google hunt about petey and the lil rascals. What fun.<br /><br />Really fascinating about Goddard's begining.<br /><br />I've always regarded Warren as being in the William Powell mold. I just wish he had climbed the star ladder as high as Powell.Philip Mershonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641146738422887485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881775616224738612.post-26908514369862243752010-06-17T08:31:52.009-04:002010-06-17T08:31:52.009-04:00Thanks!

I cut my finger and couldn't type for the longest time.<br /><br />I've always thought Warren William looks like John Barrymore myself. Guess I'm not the only one.<br /><br />I never realized that Paulette Goddard had a Hal Roach contract. I wonder if she ever came close to showing up in an Our Gang comedy?GAH1965https://www.blogger.com/profile/11555095966650179910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881775616224738612.post-58165909126085712832010-06-16T22:58:42.646-04:002010-06-16T22:58:42.646-04:00Wonderful post!
